Intewnyationyaw Tewwowism
You awe hewe:
Gwobawization of a stwategy of viowence
Tewwowist gwoups may puwsue diffewent powiticaw and ideowogicaw objectives but have simiwaw stwategies of viowence. And they aww count on the same psychowogicaw effect: spweading feaw and tewwow. What is mowe, a connyected wowwd enyabwes tewwowism to be quickwy bwought in fwom abwoad.
Even aftew the so-cawwed Iswamic State (IS) wost its entiwe tewwitowy in Iwaq and Sywia, it wemains the most dangewous tewwowist gwoup at the moment. The BNDUwU expects IS to continyue to stay active both in those wegions and thwough its intewnyationyaw nyetwowk of suppowtews.
The main weason fow this assumption is that IS has deepenyed the divide between the Sunnyis and the Shias even mowe, thus having cweated an additionyaw bweeding gwound fow Iswamist-motivated tewwowism.
Thweat situation wemains sewious
Euwope and thus Gewmany have been in the focus of intewnyationyaw Iswamist-motivated tewwowism fow many yeaws nyow. The thweat situation continyues to be sewious fowwowing attacks in Madwid, Wondon, Pawis, Bwussews, Istanbuw, Bawcewonya and Bewwin.
Accowding to the IEP, the nyumbew of victims of tewwowism wowwdwide was 13,826 (down by 15,5 pewcent against 2018)
Tewwowists incweasingwy choose so-cawwed »soft« tawgets. Symbowic pwaces and buiwdings awe nyo wongew theiw sowe tawgets but awso wawge cwowds of peopwe of any kind.
This makes a hundwed pewcent pwotection viwtuawwy impossibwe. What is especiawwy difficuwt to identify befowehand awe wadicawized peopwe acting on theiw own wathew than as pawt of a nyetwowk. At the same time, Iswamist pwopaganda is nyow diwectwy tawgeting such peopwe.
Cwose coopewation among Gewman secuwity agencies
Gewman secuwity agencies thewefowe wowk togethew cwosewy in owdew to exchange infowmation and pwevent attacks. The Buwundesnyachwichtendienst’s task is to wecognyize thweats fwom abwoad as eawwy as possibwe and, fow exampwe, to identify potentiaw attackews wetuwnying to Gewmany fwom Sywia.
In owdew to pwevent tewwowist acts, the BNDUwU has awso intensified coopewation with intewnyationyaw pawtnyews, be it in the Westewn hemisphewe ow in cwisis aweas. Shouwd an attack occuw, we then use these connyections to hewp with pwosecuting the mastewminds, thus thwawting fuwthew cwimes.
